The 25th door of the advent is unlocked! Get your prize. I hope you've enjoyed this month's advent, especially some of the cool and/or useful items we've had in the last couple of weeks.

I unlocked the raid the other day but as some people noted, for the first few hours the ticket rewards weren't up but they should be up now.

I previously said the raid would run till January 4th but since I was out of commission (tldr for those not in the know - I was sick and hospitalized over the last 2+ weeks). I'll extend it till January 8th, Friday, 11:59 PM server time (so right before end of day friday i'll take it out).

The other christmas event stuff - up to the other devs to leave on or cut as normal.

Speaking of my downtime, this does affect my timeline for things that I talked about recently based on the votes. Needless to say, combat sim, next raid, some of the much requested wl bug fixes will come soon but probably slower as I'm recovering/resting and also I'll be moving back home for a few months so need to figure out my dev setup again. But yeah I will have more downtime while resting so I'll be around no worries.

Happy holidays and hope you all get to spend the next week with your loved ones and enjoy doing what you do!

It is that time of the year when you get free stuff.

The Advent Calendar will soon be up with lots of goodies, many old and some new, to be enjoyed by one and all!

The Winter event raid will release December 21st, Monday and will run for 2 weeks (till January 4th, 2021).

Assumably the holiday jobs will start around the same time but I'll leave that to Bongo's discretion.

As has been the case with the last few Decembers ever since the winter raid was created, there will be nothing else interesting happening this month.

Nothing at all. You will just get free stuff as usual. No credit sinks.

Nothing... at all.. ...or????

The next raid in the ongoing storyline is out now! Chapter 3 is by far the most complex, by design, that I've had to put together. It was pretty exhausting to make but I think ultimately also pretty rewarding and fun!

Hope you enjoy it

Expired cards now have a sellback price so you can sell spare ones.

In the game vote that determines the next update I'll drop, the combat sim one by a huge difference. I'll be releasing a version of the combat sim for all of you in Xen's Dojo at some point next week so look forward to that!

In other raids, Chapter 4 and SH3 will follow in the coming weeks as well

There will be a small update later in the morning that adds 2 things:

a) A basic Quests Journal
b) A way to see how strong someone is compared to you on their profile (if you have the ability: Astral Vision equipped)






The Quests Journal will initially show as empty as I'll need to do some data entry on each of the steps of various questlines. We use a lot of "quest flags" to mark the steps you take in various quests around the game (whether it's conversation-based quests or otherwise) so this is the beginning of a proper quest system to unify it and then expand upon for various updates and upcoming raids.


As for the profile strength text, depending on your simulated combat winrate against the profile you're viewing, in order of 0% to 100%, it'll tell you if they are:
almost unbeatable, incredibly strong, somewhat strong, strong, similar in might, weak, somewhat weak, incredibly weak, or completely beatable.

Combat Simulator: At some point over the next month, I'll also be releasing a basic player-friendly combat simulator into Xen's Dojo for limited use.

Raid: As for those expired cards, I'll be giving them a sellback price the moment Chapter 3: Say Hello to my Big Friend drops! So you can sell them back to the game if you don't want to use them/do chapter 3/have more than you need.

A lot of other exciting stuff coming as well

See you soon!
